Where
Giverny · Rue Claude Monet

April to October · closed Mondays · no lunchtime booking

Between 1886 and the early 20th century, the Hôtel Baudy was the headquarters of Giverny's artists' colony: the American painters lived here, ate on the terrace with Monet as a neighbour and painted in the studios in the garden. Today it is a restaurant that keeps the bar, the rooms and the garden.

The food

Home cooking that follows the seasons and Normandy produce. The menu changes every year and can be consulted on its website. As picnics are not allowed in Monet's gardens, the Baudy terrace is the natural place to eat between visits.
